DreamAesthetically Speaking From Me To You For September 2024
ELEVATE YOUR KITCHEN REMODEL WITH STUNNING INTERIOR DESIGN IN SCOTTSDALE
In the culinary world, they say that “you eat with your eyes first.” Essentially, it means that food must look good as well as taste delicious. In a similar way, a kitchen should look gorgeous as well as function properly, right?! After all, every cook needs an inspiring place to work. In today’s blog post, we’ll talk about kitchen remodeling projects and why you may be seeking help for interior design in Scottsdale. We’ll explain why our firm is the ideal choice for your home or Pied á Terre in Arizona. Finally, we’ll conclude with information on how you can contact us!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING A KITCHEN REMODEL
As you start thinking about your dream kitchen, it can be helpful to consider the following questions and functional aspects related to your project.
- What isn’t working in your current kitchen? Maybe your kitchen doesn’t have good traffic flow or convenient storage. Or, perhaps your appliances and countertop are outdated and seriously need a replacement. Whatever your problem or pain points are, we look forward to helping you find a beautiful, functional solution.
- Like the above, what are some of your practical kitchen needs? Maybe you’re a foodie and need a gourmet kitchen, complete with a gas range, sous-vie, pot-filler, steam oven,faucet and high-quality exhaust hood to take away fumes. If you prefer baking, you may need more than one stove for making breads, cinnamon rolls and other baked goods. If you’re a wine aficionado, you probably will want a wine storage near by.

- Do you prefer have space to eat in the kitchen or in a formal dining room? How about a breakfast area or island for eating? Ultimately, this will depend on how you currently use your living spaces or how you would like to use them going forward.

- What would your dream kitchen look and feel like? If you have photos of ideas, this will help our Scottsdale professionals in better understanding you and your design goals. In addition, do you want the renovated space to work with an existing aesthetic in your house, or are you seeking a fresh perspective from an interior design expert?
- Do you have a budget in mind? This is the first consideration as it will affect all aspects of the design. Do you need all new appliances, plumbing, flooring, and cabinetry, or want to repurpose or reuse some of the existing kitchen elements? Our firm can help you better understand the costs involved once we’ve assessed your needs.
- How much storage do you need? Do you want to have a lot of drawers for pull-out access to items? Or, maybe you like the open shelving look for the uppers in your kitchen. Your storage needs may also depend on how much you use your kitchen…if you have a Pied á Terre residence, you may require a smaller kitchen that serves your occasional needs versus a space that serves you in a daily capacity.
- Is your current kitchen area too closed off from the rest of the house? We will work with our contractors to help you achieve that open-concept kitchen you envision. Of course, we also cater to clients who frequently entertain and want a second area or “dirty kitchen” so the main kitchen stays clean and nice looking for guests. Today, many kitchens open up to the outdoor living with retractable doors to connect the indoor kitchen with a large, covered outdoor patio area complete with multiple seating areas and a large seating dining table with fans, heaters or misters.

- Is your kitchen area dark? The kitchen is one of the most important and necessary rooms for correct lighting design. Maybe you don’t have enough task lighting to properly see what you’re doing in the kitchen. Or perhaps you’ve always wanted a picture window over the sink so you can watch the grandkids playing in the back yard. CEO, Lauren Jacobsen, knows the importance of light in creating that space you’ll enjoy using every day. She is a lighting design specialist.

We work hard to integrate the beauty of nature right here in Scottsdale, Arizona with our interior design vision for your home. This includes making your interior integrated with the desert we are surrounded by. Truly, Arizona is a designer’s dream place to live. After all, architect Frank Lloyd Wright chose Scottsdale for his winter home, Taliesin West! Like Lauren Jacobsen Design, Wright sought to bring the outdoors in.
As Wright famously said, “If we build in the desert, let the house know the desert and the desert be proud of the house.”

The client requested a chef's style kitchen with a light and bright feel. As you can see in the photos below, we were able to completely transform the space by reconfiguring the appliances, adding white paint, changing the lighting, changing out the countertops and cabinets etc.
